That beer ages like a champ, I wouldn't touch them this year, just find some more!

What did you think of the Lagunitas? I can't get enough of it and wish I had more! I have three bottles left but I'm not allowed to drink any of them :(

Drinking a Nutcracker while wrapping the last of the presents. Will likely follow up with a Flower Power.

I really liked it (enough to buy 2 more bottles) but I didn't LOVE IT. The nose was superb but I found that the palate didn't quite match it. Definitely happy I tried it and it was really cool to see it on tap.

Mt Begbie Nasty Habit IPA - great nose, slightly overcarbonated/thin body, taste doesn't quite live up to nose. Similar in style to Wild Rose IPA and Half Pints IPA, just not quite as good.

Just cracked a bottle of KR Citra DIPA. An excellent DIPA.

It's times like this where I wish I lived downtown to share this with other BTers.
